Keshi: I won’t be partial

SUPER EAGLES Head Coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, has again insisted that there will be no partiality between home-based stars and those based abroad in the selection of the final team that will face Liberia, on October 13 in Calabar.

“I know that 15 players are coming from Europe but we already have 21 of you here, what we expect is that you go out there and prove yourself during training and leave the rest to me. No matter how fantastic players are in Europe and in their clubsides, they have to come here to prove that they are good enough to start and if those of you that are here show that you are better you will start against Liberia”, Keshi told the players at the resumed training of the team in Abuja on Monday.

My advice to Keshi is that he should listen to his conscience and not bow to intimidation in the selection of his team . Again, Keshi should not succumb to sycophancy in determining who plays for the Eagles considering that if darkness comes, the sycophants will disappear. Even his own shadow will disappear if darkness comes. So he should listen to his conscience, and if he does victory will be achieved. Ecce homo!

Keshi must play 4-4-2 in order to win.

As midfield is the bane of the Super Eagles, to overcome this weakness, Keshi must resort to play 4-4-2. The midfield four must be able to run up and down. This would enable them to protect the defence, control the midfield, players would be available on the wings to cross virtual balls and release the two strikers up front to always be there to go for goals. With 4-4-2, you will not miss Mikel Obi if he failed to turn up. With him you must still play 4.4.2.

Remember 4-2-3-1, 4-1-3-2 or 4-3-3 is not good enough to protect the defence or help the lone striker(s) if you do not have very good and strong players for the midfield. 4-2-4 is disastrous.
